Skybound's five-issue Creepshow limited series continues in October with issue #2, featuring two spooky new stories by new creative teams.
The first story, by David Lapham and Maria Lapham, with colors by Trish Mulvihill and letters by Pat Brosseau, is about a tree and a girl. But as with any Creepshow tale, it isn't that simple - or nice. The tree's roots grow so deep they extend straight into Hell, and the girl who sits beneath the tree is in someway affected by the tree's flirtation with damnation.
Skybound's Creepshow anthology comics series is based on the Shudder TV series produced and licensed by Cartel Entertainment, which continues the 1982 movie of the same name and ignores its sequels. The 1982 Creepshow was created by George A. Romero and Stephen King, and adapted for Shudder by Greg Nicotero in 2019.
The show currently has 17 regular episodes - each featuring two stories apiece, as is the Creepshow way - as well as two specials under its belt following the conclusion of season 3. Creepshow Season 4 is slated to debut in 2023, but the comics anthology is a great stopover until the series returns.
Creepshow #2 will be available October 26.
Some of the best horror comics of all time take inspiration from Creepshow.
